Several hundred supporters gathered at what was to have been the opening of Herman Cain’s national campaign headquarters. He told the supporters that he is suspending his bid for the Republican presidential nomination.
Cain said “I am suspending my presidential campaign because of the continued distractions and the continued hurt caused on me and my family,”
“But because of these false and unproved accusations, it has paid and had a tremendous painful price on my family,” Cain said, with his wife, Gloria, standing behind him on the stage.
“Now here’s why it hurts — because my wife, my family and I, we know that those false and unproved allegations are not true. So one of the first declarations that I want to make to you today is that I am at peace with my God. I am at peace with my wife. And she is at peace with me.”
